Alzado Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Reportedly, he had 5 unpublished manuscripts in his files that he refused to publish because of his disdain for the publishing industry and perhaps the world in general. Hopefully those will see the light of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 277: 930-933 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I've only ever read Catcher in the Rye, any advice on what to read next? It was enjoyable, kind of like reading a BEE novel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think he intended for things to be published after his death: In her memoir, Margaret Salinger describes the detailed filing system her father had for his unpublished manuscripts: "A red mark meant, if I die before I finish my work, publish this 'as is,' blue meant publish but edit first, and so on."

RIp Bananafish is one of the 9 Stories. He only had 4 books published along with a handful of uncollected short stories published in the New Yorker.
